Hello all. This is my first post, but I am not new to firearms and the fact that certain vintages have advantages and drawbacks. I am typically a Sig and M14 guy and have seen how quality has deteriorated in the recent decade. I have a 10/22 that I bought new in 1999 and I love it. My friend also loves it so much that he wants one just like it!
My question is: are the new off-the-shelf 10/22's of good quality, or should I steer him to an older one? I noticed recent ones have plastic trigger housings while mine is aluminum.
Anything I should be weary of, or are the current ones just as good as older ones? He wants me to help him purchase one on Saturday. The local convenience store stocks NIB 10/22's.
Thanks,
Tony.
